President Dodon forbids Moldovan servicemen to participate in Ukrainian military exercises

Moldovan President Igor Dodon has forbidden servicemen of the National Army to participate in the Rapid Trident-2017 military exercises held in Ukraine on September 7-23.

This is reported by Ukrinform's own correspondent in Moldova.

"President of the Republic of Moldova does not approve participation of the servicemen of the National Army in military exercises on the territory of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian side should be timely informed about this," Secretary of the Supreme Security Council Arthur Gumenyuk said in the letter to Deputy Defense Minister of Moldova Gheorghe Galbur.

The president wrote on his Facebook page about the prohibition of participation of Moldovan soldiers in the military exercises in Ukraine.

Earlier, the deputy defense minister informed the president that the Defense Ministry planned to send 57 troops to participate in the military exercises in Ukraine.
